A Motor Boat
DRIFTING BOAT TAKEN IN TOW Dover, Kent. At 3.19 on the afternoon of the 10th June, 1962, a message was received by the honorary secretary from the eastern arm signal station that an outboard motor boat had broken down off Kingsdown near St. Margaret's Bay. The life-boat Southern Africa left her moorings at 3.30 in a gentle south-westerly breeze and a choppy sea. It was low water. On reaching the position the life-boat found that the boat's crew of two had lost their outboard motor and had been drifting. After taking the two men on board the life-boat towed the boat into Dover harbour and reached her station at 4.30..
